Welcome back to HC2′s Maison Monday! Today we’re featuring Cista, a rainwater harvesting system designed for urban environments, which enabled both water conservation and increased green space. It was designed by Carolyn Moss of Moss Sund Architects in partnership with Lee Fletcher and Terence Woodside. Made of stainless steel, flexible welded thermoplastic olefin, and ivy, the Cista can hold up to 100 gallons of water. Cista also comes complete with an LED water level indicator, climbing plant, and it comes ready to install in it’s vertical configuration. Although I doubt that this would be an affordable alternative to the H20G, it is nevertheless clever, and inspirational.
